[/dt_vc_list][vc_column_text]Depression does affect the person’s quality of life, depending on the cause of the depression and the severity of the situation.

The person with depression tends to be like a heated glass that breaks with the least pressure. Depressed people want to be all alone all time, will be more frustrated for no reason.  They blame themselves for everything. They believe all the suffering happens from their end to everyone or everyone is behind his suffering. They consider themself a failure. There are few other types of individuals who give utmost importance to what others think of them. Their confidence depends on what others feel about them. If others give them a priority, they believe they are worth it. If not, they think they’re worthless.

Their confidence depends on what others think of them. This happens because they are grown up in such a way like if the neighbors’ or family friends or relatives praise them for their behavior, they consider themselves worth. They look for appreciation, praises, compliments from others for whatever they do. On one side, that may help them have encouragement to keep up their performance, and on the other hand, if they could not keep up their image or performance, it will end up having a sense of failure and pulls them into depression. If the person is wise to understand his abilities and flaws, he will again get back to normal by boosting his confidence and giving himself another chance.

What are the chemical changes that happen in the brain to give such mood changes?[/vc_column_text][dt_vc_list dividers=”false”]There are many hormones and chemical substances generated in the brain as a result of the emotional changes in the mind. These chemicals are the neurotransmitters that are involved in depression are
